Pour the cream in a bowl. Keep this bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 10 minutes. 3) Add 1/4 cup of sugar and beat the cream in a whisker.

Beat it till you get nice stiff peak. Be very careful that you don’t over beat the cream, otherwise it will start to curdle and butter will start to separate out.

Once you get stiff peak, add mango puree and vanilla.

Fold it in using spatula. Do not mix vigorously otherwise cream will lose the fluffy texture.

Pour into the shallow and wide container, so it freezes quickly. Cover it and keep refrigerated till it is half frozen about 4 hours.
